A brilliant thinker who doesn't know that Taiwan's position in the global economy has changed just a wee bit since the 1970s. Taiwan manufactures the vast majority of the world's semi-consuctors, especially the cutting edge ones. The very same semi-consuctors which the USA reckons is why they won the first cold war against the USSR. You do the rest of the math.
Mr Varoufakis is highly intelligent and a no-nonsense speaker. He has unusual in-depth knowledge on international affairs and his analysis on geopolitics matters is often excellent. This lecture on US-China competition is unambiguous and realistic.
*It was Julius Nyerere who famously quipped: “The United States is also a one-party state but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”*

Recently, China issued USD bonds to the Saudis. These traded at only 0.007-0.029% above the 3Y/5Y rates and were oversubscribed by 19.9x. The Saudis will receive Chinese industrial products in return. With those USD, the Chinese will pay back the US on behalf of those countries trapped in USD debt. In exchange, those countries send resources to China. So, the end result is the world gets rid of their USD (instead of investing in US where it could be seized), countries free themselves of US debt trap, and the dollar floods back to the US.
This is why the inflation prices of all assets continues to accelerate. US Dollar debt-deflation through Quantitative Easing drives the Velocity of currencies through the Monroe Doctrine grift of Economic Codependency. The World is shorting the US Dollar, and its caused the political Establishment to have gone insane with rage that Western Empire has already collapsed. The conspiracy minded might see this as an intentional implosion or the US Dollar as an attempt to force the adoption of CBDCs obligatory for all Global citizen-slaves. WW3 is the goal of an insane ideology that needs to artificially inflate the commodities markets to act as an accelerated means of capturing Vassal States. Debt-deflation is a psychopathic methodology for sustaining the appearances of Social Management, where Institutional legitimacy no longer exists.
WoW incredible achievement but it's working in a way that's magical 🙏🏼 it's reminding me about the story, one ant can not do much but 1,4 billion can preform miracles or a lot 😊
Great analysis and fair comments, I hope your suggestions will be heard by Chinese leaders. China foreign policy tends to keep low profile and focus on own interests, but China can not become economic leader without being a culture influencer.
I think that's a wrong approach, I believe. Economic dominance is itself "soft power" as the world will increasingly look to you for brands and consumer goods. Once you have large Chinese companies that produce great products, people will shift their opinion of Chinese culture as well. That will include popular culture as well over time. There's a reason why Chinese and Indian culture is very prevalent in Asia, but hardly noticed in eg Europe. For us in Europe, they're the "poor, low quality manufacturing base" still in the minds of especially the older generation. The opposite can apply as well: Sweden, Korea, France, Spain. Examples of economically strong to middle nations but cultural superpowers compared to their economic footprint. (edited for typos)
This USD system is unsustainable. For the few to enjoy disproportionate wealth, the rest have to contribute disproportionately to the system. Fewer and fewer countries are willing to do that.
@Liviticus it's absolutely breaking down. US dishes out largesse to its allies and friendly countries to maintain their loyalty. Those who don't benefit from that arrangement naturally have to contribute to the pool of largesse disproportionately. It's a zero sum game. For some to gain, others have to lose. That's why the others are looking at reducing dependence on USD.
Kudos to the speaker who is putting his whole hearted effort in promoting peace and preserve humanity... With plenty of good insights! The world needs more of such leaders!! 😊😊

I was going to write a comment, but everything has been already written. The only thing I can add is that beside the brilliant and just analysis, emotionally speaking it's extremely moving that such a brain exists and speaks out. Merci monsieur Varoufakis et cher professeur!
As a french i'd like to say that i don't care about who has an empire, i care about the damage it does, to my understanding, China's in making empire is carefully planned both diplomatically and economically, so the geo politics of the "new chinese empire" might be extremely stable and not shaky, like the u.s empire was, they have made the calculation that strong regions, partners and allies (maybe even pawns) are a strength in itself, because you trade much more interessting goods and political stability with more advanced nations than with destroyed ones, which fuel the various economies which can help gather more knowledge, which can in turn led to innovations, which can then led to more things to build and invent, which can ultimately led to more fructuous exchanges with developped countries and so on.... America took almost by accident a destroyed world, and made sure it would stay destroyed and keep rotting in order to stay ahead of everyone else and gather their forces to put controlled peoples as head of states of "pawns" countries, this is the most vicious thing, and the problem is, it doesn't last if you don't bring a minimum of technical progress, people care mostly about their own despair and how to solve it, and when they see where the problem is coming from they'll try their best to fight it. {Btw that's why poor peoples copy things, when the colonizer bring technical progress that he got thanks to his riches that he may have got thanks to violence, submission, conquests and robbery, they adapt to the colonizer progress to return it against them, when the american imperialism bring nothing but threat and destruction because you're simply of their receiving end of their violence, they don't bring any kind of technical progress, rather they make sure it doesn't exist outside of their hand, so in order to adapt this quick, no other choice but to copy them and their weapons, the best you can do in order to match their display of power as quickly as possible to chase them away, this in turn may lead to either peace under containment and surveillance by the imperialist, or a complete war of despairation on the imperialist side, that feel the situation escaping it's control } The United states empire, is a failure of understanding the human nature, the balance of power have blinded them of all the others important factors required to control the world, and now they've created an unsustainable mess that directly affect them slowly, and there's no way out of it for them, they may try to go into isolationism and lose everything instantly, peoples around the world are gonna go seek them, they won't just flee like this, that what western elites have always done, but it was fine so long as the next empire was "friendly" to them their own kin in another form of regime and with different language, China is way too "alien" for them and, their beliefs, their ideologies, their so called values, their greed for money, their obsession with power... Normally every empire last for over a century or two, however the u.s empire lasted "only (but thankfully so)" 80 years, it's supposed to be at merely half of it's life, granted China always had an enormous potential, maybe even the biggest in the world and that may lay big questions for the future empires if there are any, at this point i don't see any country that can outgrow china in any way solely based on the potential it has. Some may say India but realestically speaking, India have a slow pace potential next to China, it's unstable, in a political way, in a cultural way, in an economical way, i'm sorry but this is the kind of situation that ask for decades of work and i mean litterally entire generations of compromise inside the population to fix thoses issues, i just don't see India held on until the end of the century, until the middle would already be astonishing. So China might become the last empire before AI and robots replace us or something like that i don't know, there's no ideology, only potentials, competences, pragmatism, realism, and technicity. One could master thoses objectives elements perfectly or just better than all others and may simply rule forever, the important part is to keep strategic goals over the long term and keep making plans to achieve thoses, but even so the u.s empire is made upon hazardous situations and a lot mistakes and we do see that now, they were way too confident and self centered to think they were doing things badly. The Chinese empire may very well be much more peaceful and organized to fuel the general devlopment even if we have to be dependant on them, who care so long that we can live and do things our way without outside troubles. Peoples generally don't even care about politics if politics leave them alone, i think their method is much more sustainable and responsible than any western empire could ever achieve, and particularly the united states. They maybe were the shortest lived out of them all, but they were the most brutal and devastating one, and so they're collapsing without any possible way to goes back, such an irresponsible empire that is born with the atom bomb might die with the atom bomb. Because in any case of history, empire are generally born with violence and die with violence. But not China, the europeans and americans made their empires thanks to the work of foreign slaves, and warfare on others to seize territories and ressources, Chineses built their empire with their own strength, that fact alone reassure me a lot, about their methods and intentions, their strategies, and the way they'll treat others, thousands of years of history forged this peoples and i intend to fully witness their achievments with great interest for the rest of my life, i'm curious to see how far they gonna lead this world, and damn the u.s if they try to destroy China with nukes before it can commit itself fully, this power projection will be built in a few years, then will become steadily stronger until there's no need to show any muscle anymore, ultimately, and no matter how aggresives toward the thing(s) and peoples they don't like at the moment they are, humans respect strength above all, the thing is to not overuse it, nobody like unpredictables bullies, even tho the americans are boiling against china right now, because they're full of it, they'll respect China maybe even more than others when this whole situation will be done.

A great speech with remarkable understanding and analyses of an impending threatening problem, together with valuable and vital suggestions to counteract it. Deeply grateful.
Thank you for sharing your gifts... Courageously showing up for Peace, Justice, & Truth, and sharing your revealing insights for the Collective. Continue to awaken the masses, Yanis. *bow*
If this speech is not translated for the chinese, it would truly be a disservice to them. Every policy maker in china should take note of his four points.
“The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, s*** detector.” ~ Hemingway, Ernest I strongly believe Professor Yanis Varoufakis understands exactly what Ernest Hemingway was saying and thinking when he said that.
Yanis, outstanding. No notes, no tele-prompter, yet so eloquent. Important point about US deficit financing, but also useful to emphasise to China the consequences of ignoring the US working class.
thought provoking and best analysis I have not heard anywhere. Thanks for sharing your insight. If he can hold some critical position in one of the super power, this world would be a better place for all.
I agree, very clearly presented that made it impossible to actually not understand every point he's making. It's interesting that he was Greece's finance minister during the state's bankruptcy around late 2000s I believe.
Well worth listening to! The description of the reason for the US trade war with China is a good overview of what many of us already knew, but we might not have had it expressed that clearly before. What to do about it, though, needs much work!
Yanis is one of the very few European intellects worth listening to. All other media outlets simply copy and paste from whatever the NY Times or Wall Street Journals are saying. It's also refreshing and insightful to hear his perspectives.
I have been "following" Yiani since 2010, the beginning of Greek financial crisis. Voted him, but Greece, like most of the Western countries being puppet states and being guided by specific 3 Embassies, could not tolerate such a voice. I agree with everything he says. But having lived and still live in Asia for more than 10 years, he is right, China should invest in its soft power, blend with local communities. Slow, but concrete process. Hope to see him again in China and listen to his speeches. 加油!
Yanis Varoufakis is a brilliant economist and thinker. He concisely laid out the issues and challenges that lay ahead in the cold war started by the US against China. We need more clear-headed leaders like him to educate more people to make this world a safer place for all.
I can almost guarantee you US and China will not have a shooting war. US will be too Depleted in economy and military before US is finished in Ukraine and Israel..😅 😂 Thanks again Mr Yanis for your great analysis and information.
There can be proxy always, That’s why taiwan is been overly talked abt even all these hosts or media guys don’t even know where the fk taiwan is, also nato has done everything to cause trouble for China, xinjiang Tibet and so on….
There are plenty of brilliant thinkers/advisers like him and China has no shortage of them. The question is how many of those are not being censored by the western propaganda machine and being able to get their messages to the general public.
I hope the U.S. and China will never fight another war with each other. The two great countries can bring peace and prosperity to each other and to the whole world. As Admiral Paparo says and recognizes China is no longer what it was years before. In my opinion, It is critical to understand that China is very well prepared for any conflict with the U.S., whether it is a trade war or a hot war. It is worth reckoning this question: has the U.S. won anything against China since the establishment of the PRC in 1949? In the modern world, most of the world troubles were created by the U.S. and most of the alleviation of poverty was achieved by China. The trade war started by Trump and carried on by Biden is only making China stronger and more advanced in indigenous technologies. I hope Trump has learned his lesson the second time around. It is a self-indulgent delusion that the West under the coercion of the United States would be able somehow to stop or contain the rise of China with so-called small yard with high fences. It is a self defeating hypothesis. The U.S. and China should be partners and friends instead of enemies or competitors, for the benefits of the humanity and for a better world for all.
The U.S. and China have benefited massively from their cooperation and trade with one another. The current success of each nation would not have been possible to the same extent without the participation of one another. As these nations lift each other up the rest of the world rises along with them. This “Cold War” conflict is self imposed by the governments of both countries to drum up nationalist sentiments for political reasons & this kind of thinking should be rejected wholeheartedly.
I'm chinese living in the west. I love ancient chinese culture and I have a genuine interest in international relations. You can say that CCP is this and that, but trust me the Top Decision-Makers of china are no no-brainers like Biden. We always draw wisdom from the mega pool of ancient intellegence and we invite you to read them. This is the legit soft power of China. I often think, Japan, who had done a lot (not some, but a lot) absolute atrocities during the wars, went on to put on an innocent face and being so well-received in the global community, while china has constantly been considered a threat. Yanis provided me an answer to my wonder, soft power.
While I think he is very reasonable，the sad thing is that I also think To debate about it is useless. Because in the US and the west in general, politicians are still in their colonial dreams.
Brillant and so courageous talk! It became so rare today to hear such a talk. It gives some hope despite the general despair. Thank you so much for that.

The United states empire, is a failure of understanding the human nature, the balance of power have blinded them of all the others important factors required to control the world, and now they've created an unsustainable mess that directly affect them slowly, and there's no way out of it for them, they may try to go into isolationism and lose everything instantly, peoples around the world are gonna go seek them, they won't just flee like this, that what western elites have always done, but it was fine so long as the next empire was "friendly" to them their own kin in another form of regime and with different language, China is way too "alien" for them and, their beliefs, their ideologies, their so called values, their greed for money, their obsession with power...

So China might become the last empire before AI and robots replace us or something like that i don't know, there's no ideology, only potentials, competences, pragmatism, realism, and technicity. One could master thoses objectives elements perfectly or just better than all others and may simply rule forever, the important part is to keep strategic goals over the long term and keep making plans to achieve thoses, but even so the u.s empire is made upon hazardous situations and a lot mistakes and we do see that now, they were way too confident and self centered to think they were doing things badly. The Chinese empire may very well be much more peaceful and organized to fuel the general devlopment even if we have to be dependant on them, who care so long that we can live and do things our way without outside troubles. Peoples generally don't even care about politics if politics leave them alone, i think their method is much more sustainable and responsible than any western empire could ever achieve, and particularly the united states. They maybe were the shortest lived out of them all, but they were the most brutal and devastating one, and so they're collapsing without any possible way to goes back, such an irresponsible empire that is born with the atom bomb might die with the atom bomb. Because in any case of history, empire are generally born with violence and die with violence.
But not China, the europeans and americans made their empires thanks to the work of foreign slaves, and warfare on others to seize territories and ressources, Chineses built their empire with their own strength, that fact alone reassure me a lot, about their methods and intentions, their strategies, and the way they'll treat others, thousands of years of history forged this peoples and i intend to fully witness their achievments with great interest for the rest of my life, i'm curious to see how far they gonna lead this world, and damn the u.s if they try to destroy China with nukes before it can commit itself fully, this power projection will be built in a few years, then will become steadily stronger until there's no need to show any muscle anymore, ultimately, and no matter how aggresives toward the thing(s) and peoples they don't like at the moment they are, humans respect strength above all, the thing is to not overuse it, nobody like unpredictables bullies, even tho the americans are boiling against china right now, because they're full of it, they'll respect China maybe even more than others when this whole situation will be done.
Its interesting but too long, write an article
@@henrylikemessi Yeah sorry x)
Well written and knowledgeable. 👍
I read all of it because your thoughts are clear, insightful with a sprinkle of harmony at the end.

There is no We The People in the US. We The Money only.
The striking and peculiar characteristic of American society is, that it is not so much a democracy as a huge commercial company for the discovery, cultivation, and capitalization of its enormous territory.... The United States is primarily a commercial society ... and only secondarily a nation...
A great speech with remarkable understanding and analyses of an impending threatening problem, together with valuable and vital suggestions to counteract it. Deeply grateful.
Always a pleasure to hear him
Thank you for sharing your gifts... Courageously showing up for Peace, Justice, & Truth, and sharing your revealing insights for the Collective. Continue to awaken the masses, Yanis. *bow*
If this speech is not translated for the chinese, it would truly be a disservice to them. Every policy maker in china should take note of his four points.
They already know. This is for the west who still think they can do whatever they want without suffering any consequences.
This forum had Wei Wei in there. She would be the one to do it.
is he not she@@cb250nighthawk3

Only one policy-maker in China😂
Excellent
you nailed it bro, thank you sir
“The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, s*** detector.”
~ Hemingway, Ernest
I strongly believe Professor Yanis Varoufakis understands exactly what Ernest Hemingway was saying and thinking when he said that.
He is soooo smart and insightful
Yanis Varoufakis is a brilliant thinker.
Yanis, outstanding. No notes, no tele-prompter, yet so eloquent. Important point about US deficit financing, but also useful to emphasise to China the consequences of ignoring the US working class.
Brilliant analysis by Mr. Varoufakis. Thanks for sharing it.
Very refreshing and thought provoking, listened to it a few times in a row
thought provoking and best analysis I have not heard anywhere. Thanks for sharing your insight. If he can hold some critical position in one of the super power, this world would be a better place for all.
I agree, very clearly presented that made it impossible to actually not understand every point he's making. It's interesting that he was Greece's finance minister during the state's bankruptcy around late 2000s I believe.
Well worth listening to!
The description of the reason for the US trade war with China is a good overview of what many of us already knew, but we might not have had it expressed that clearly before.
What to do about it, though, needs much work!
Such a smart and honest man!
I love this guy, wat a speech 🎉I was mesmerised by the whole of it. Every second is well said !!
Niahou! Danke fur best summation
❤Thank you very much for your TRUTHFUL advice and professional insight Professor Yanis.
100 hundred percent u r right
Many insights never thought of before. Thank you
Best explanation.
Excellents observations, thanks!
fantastic analysis of US-imperialism... Yanis hit the nail on the head!!!
Yanis is one of the very few European intellects worth listening to. All other media outlets simply copy and paste from whatever the NY Times or Wall Street Journals are saying. It's also refreshing and insightful to hear his perspectives.
Good exposition of current economy, thank you Yanis.
Agreed with everything Mr Yanis said 👏
Well said!
Thank you Mr Varoufakis for the informative analysis and solutions. Thanks to Thinkers Forum.
Excellent way of explaining politics. Bravo 👏 👏
Wonderful insights!
Whenever I need reassurance that the world isn’t completely mad and senseless, I listen to Yanis, which is to say, I listen to him very frequently.
I have been "following" Yiani since 2010, the beginning of Greek financial crisis. Voted him, but Greece, like most of the Western countries being puppet states and being guided by specific 3 Embassies, could not tolerate such a voice.
I agree with everything he says. But having lived and still live in Asia for more than 10 years, he is right, China should invest in its soft power, blend with local communities. Slow, but concrete process. Hope to see him again in China and listen to his speeches.
加油!
Thank god someones calling out Victoria Nuland.
Yanis Varoufakis is a brilliant economist and thinker. He concisely laid out the issues and challenges that lay ahead in the cold war started by the US against China. We need more clear-headed leaders like him to educate more people to make this world a safer place for all.
Wow 37 MINUTS to explain the obviously truth in a way that is bullet profe ❤ wonderful 👍🏼😊
An intelligent and Wise analytical worldwide views by excellent ex finance minister cum scholar Professor Syabas
Yanis, I love listening to your wonderful smart and dead-on prediction. ❤ keep up the good work 🎉
GREAT informative video 👍 👌
Facts, bravo👍
I can almost guarantee you US and China will not have a shooting war. US will be too Depleted in economy and military before US is finished in Ukraine and Israel..😅 😂
Thanks again Mr Yanis for your great analysis and information.
There can be proxy always, That’s why taiwan is been overly talked abt even all these hosts or media guys don’t even know where the fk taiwan is, also nato has done everything to cause trouble for China, xinjiang Tibet and so on….
Exactly. The west is already lost, people just don't realize it!
Wow... Xi should take Yanis as his personal adviser :D
There are plenty of brilliant thinkers/advisers like him and China has no shortage of them. The question is how many of those are not being censored by the western propaganda machine and being able to get their messages to the general public.
Yanis Varoufakis 👍👍👍👍👍
Yanis Varoufakis speaks with such clarity and insight that not many westerners dare to say or do!
Sure. Because we all know that clarity and insight are the exclusive domains of non-westerners.
BTW, where's Zhu Hengpeng?

Good summation points with spices!
I hope the U.S. and China will never fight another war with each other. The two great countries can bring peace and prosperity to each other and to the whole world. As Admiral Paparo says and recognizes China is no longer what it was years before. In my opinion, It is critical to understand that China is very well prepared for any conflict with the U.S., whether it is a trade war or a hot war. It is worth reckoning this question: has the U.S. won anything against China since the establishment of the PRC in 1949? In the modern world, most of the world troubles were created by the U.S. and most of the alleviation of poverty was achieved by China. The trade war started by Trump and carried on by Biden is only making China stronger and more advanced in indigenous technologies. I hope Trump has learned his lesson the second time around. It is a self-indulgent delusion that the West under the coercion of the United States would be able somehow to stop or contain the rise of China with so-called small yard with high fences. It is a self defeating hypothesis. The U.S. and China should be partners and friends instead of enemies or competitors, for the benefits of the humanity and for a better world for all.
That will depend solely on the US stop being an AH.
As he stated, the US has the mindset of being the biggest bully ever in the world. It's going to take a while for this to change.
Sorry to disappoint you, but trump will never learn.
3 wars have been fought between US and PRC directly and indirectly: 2 wins and 1 tie for PRC if you call Korean War a tie.
The U.S. and China have benefited massively from their cooperation and trade with one another. The current success of each nation would not have been possible to the same extent without the participation of one another. As these nations lift each other up the rest of the world rises along with them. This “Cold War” conflict is self imposed by the governments of both countries to drum up nationalist sentiments for political reasons & this kind of thinking should be rejected wholeheartedly.
He's talking sense and i have to agreed
Another fascinating & deep analysis of US Emperial disintegration & trouble-making...Many thanks to YV
I'm chinese living in the west. I love ancient chinese culture and I have a genuine interest in international relations.
You can say that CCP is this and that, but trust me the Top Decision-Makers of china are no no-brainers like Biden. We always draw wisdom from the mega pool of ancient intellegence and we invite you to read them. This is the legit soft power of China.
I often think, Japan, who had done a lot (not some, but a lot) absolute atrocities during the wars, went on to put on an innocent face and being so well-received in the global community, while china has constantly been considered a threat. Yanis provided me an answer to my wonder, soft power.
grt presentation❤
the best adviser
While I think he is very reasonable，the sad thing is that I also think To debate about it is useless. Because in the US and the west in general, politicians are still in their colonial dreams.
EXCELLENT talk!
Brillant and so courageous talk! It became so rare today to hear such a talk. It gives some hope despite the general despair. Thank you so much for that.
I didn't Varoufakis was such a brilliant analyst.
Great
The great "thinkers" won't help us from sleep-walking into WWIII.
Yanis is a brilliant thinker!
Victoria Nuland is een vrouw die zo ellende heeft georganiseerd rond de wereld
Yanos always going deep in analysing international politics, economy, societies. The voice we should be listening more often.
